Heart of a Gun (Book one)

Accidental Mistake

This morning felt different like something in the air was toxic and everybody else could feel it too. They are all quiet sitting at the table looking back and forth between each other, too scared to speak up in front of him. A few minutes pass and I decide to say something but before I could Jj gives me a stare that told me not to, he seemed deep in thought when I glanced his way. Each time I did I could feel that I was partly to blame for this silence, we really yelled at each other making it harder on the people around us.

"Is anyone hung-"

I tried to ask if anyone was hungry but before I could finish I got the biggest death stare from him which made me put my head down. I look up to see that I'm still being stared at by everyone including him.

"Why is everyone staring at me for? What did I do, I just woke up?"

"Nothing but you got to stop with the attitude Tallie, everyone is getting sick of it. Especially our Boss. Of all people you have to argue with him, normally it's just me so what has gotten into you?"

"Huh, me really? That's funny cause last night wasn't my fault this time."

"Natalie."

"Well it's not."

"Everyone be quiet."

Everyone went silent, waiting for him to say something else but he never did. So we sat there for quite some time before he abruptly stood up, walking away leaving us at the table.

"Does he always get like this before a business deal?"

"Yes but it's never been this bad before, normally he'll take it out on the equipment in the gym, not on the people around him."

"No kidding. Did you guys not hear us yelling last night?"

"No." All three of the boys say.

"You guys are heavy sleepers then."

"What was the fight about?"

"Nothing." Natalie says before leaving the table, the boys just sit there, not knowing what to do.

"That was awkward." Jagger says as he stands up followed by the other boys.

After Jagger said that, Natalie yelled

"No it wasn't, you guys made it that way." Then she proceeded to go to her room. As she got closer, she could see that the door to his room was slightly open, so she decides to go in to see him like this...

Asleep in his chair near the bookshelf, with a book over his face. Natalie goes closer to see if he is awake. As she does she looks behind her to make sure no one is there and lifts the book from his face. When she did she could have sworn she saw one of his eyes open but paid no mind to it. As she was about to walk away, all of a sudden he grabs her wrist and pulls her into his lap.

"H-hey what are y-you doing?" As she lets out a little squeal

"Holding you hostage." He says with a smirk across his face.

"You think it's funny? Being mad at one point to being 'flirty' the next? Because I don't. Anyways,  why aren't you mad now?"

"What do you mean?"

That's when I smelled it on his breath, he had been drinking. Natalie stands up and gets him to do the same.

"What are we doing?"

"WE aren't doing anything, I'M taking you to bed."

"Why? I don't want to."

"Well that's too bad, come on."

"Fine."

Natalie takes his hand to guide him when she's just about there he stumbles a bit causing them to fall on the bed in this position...

Before she realizes it he's on top of her with his arms wrapped around her.

"Um A-"

He cuts her off by planting an unexpected kiss on her, making her gasp slightly. As he's doing that she puts her hands on his chest to lurch them both over, leaving her on top.

"I think we just had a moment."

"You really love to get on my nerves, don't you?"

"Kiss me, kiss me again."

"I want to hear you beg."

"You're such a fucking tease."

"That was wrong and you know it."

"What, me kissing you?"

"Yes... now don't do it again."

Natalie proceeded to take his hands from around her and crawl off of him. She then takes his shoes off lifting his legs up onto the bed and pulling the blankets over his body. As she's leaving the room he mumbles 'thank you' to her and she smiles to herself before closing the door and heading off to her room, getting herself ready for bed as well.
